Bengals RBs coach Kyle Caskey hinted at 260-300 touches for Gio Bernard this season.
Bernard had 226 touches last season. This year, he's the clear-cut No. 1 back and Hue Jackson is installing a run-based scheme. "You don't necessarily have to hand it off and say, 'Hey, Gio got 260 touches last year out of the backfield.' Maybe he gets 260 to 300 touches but he gets them some other way," Caskey said. "Maybe he gets 200 out of the backfield but he catches 100 passes or however it is. We'll find a way to get the ball to him."
If he gets ~300 touches while bumping his reception total to ~70 while maintaining his points per touch from last year, that is easily over 300 points in PPR and definitely enough to be top 5. Lovin' it.
